Pipedot Needs People! (Score: 1, Insightful)

It's such a shame that Soylent (horrible name) has so much more activity than Pipedot.

This site has better editorial control, a much better appearance, better article selection, and even seems to load faster.

I don't know if a Pipedot/Soylent merge is one of the choices in the Soylent name poll, but it damn well should be.

From my point of view the only big mistake Pipedot initially made was banning anonymous posters, but you seem to have fixed that.

In any case, no matter what happens, thank you for making such a strong effort!

Doing sequential refreshes on the respective home pages today, on my ANCIENT laptop on a middling cable modem connection.

Pipedot: Under 1 second, every time.

Soylent: 4.5 to 5 seconds, every time.

And I understand they have all kinds of caching enabled (Varnish servers, etc.) That's really pretty bad. (And let's not be silly and blame it on volume; both are hosted at the same place, they don't have that much traffic, and as noted they have an entire front end caching infrastructure in place.)
